 Abstraction
Conventional or traditional learning refers
to a learning method wherein teachers
and students interact face-to-face and is
limited to the corners of the classroom.
This type of learning is teacher-centered,
meaning the students in a conventional
classroom passively receive the
information being provided by the
teachers.

Learning and teaching
are more meaningful,
efficient, and fun if we
incorporate the usage of
learning or instructional
materials.

These learning or
instructional materials
may come in different
forms. One of these
mentioned groups is
called conventional or
non-digital learning
tools.
 Conventional
or non-digital
tools
The usual conventional or non-digital tools or
learning/instructional materials are the following:
textbooks, charts, flip charts, pictures, posters,
atlases, globes, maps, flashcards, worksheets,
blackboards/chalkboards/whiteboards, bulletin
boards, science lab apparatus and materials,
models, diorama, dictionaries, encyclopedias,
manipulatives, and others. These learning
materials are beneficial and highly accessible to
both teachers and students. They are also very
simple, easy, and quick to use/manipulate.
 Non-conventional
or digital tools
or learning/instructional materials are those
learning materials that are not commonly
used in a traditional classroom. These
materials are also identified as modern
teaching tools. These materials include
computers and laptops, calculators, slideshow
presentations, e-books, radio, educational CDs,
DVDs, audiotapes, interactive
whiteboards/smartboards, television, mobile
phones and tablets, and others.
Conventional or
non-digital tools
 Textbooks
Textbooks are a collection of
contents and information in a
particular subject and level that
are printed and published. Books
are designed to aid both the
students and the teachers in the
lessons and topics of the
subject/s.
 Charts and
Flip Charts
Charts and flipcharts are
educational visual aids that are
usually mounted on the wall or in
its stand. It is a pad of paper
fastened together; it includes
pictures and representations
based on a specific lesson. The
pages are flipped to view the
other lessons or topics.
 Pictures and
Posters
Pictures are visual aids used to
teach or present a more realistic
view of the topics. Educational
images are usually used to depict
stories, places, events, people,
and others. While posters are
visual aids that are used to
depict symbols, icons, and even
includes pictures. They are more
comprehensive since captions
and labels are present.
Atlases, Globes,
and Maps
Atlases, globes, and maps are
used in teaching mostly
geography-related lessons
because they provide an accurate
visualization of the geographical,
topographical, political,
meteorological, and some other
features of the Earth.
 FlashCards
Flashcards are usually used as
an aid in drill activities in
English, Filipino, Math, and
Science subjects. This material
has pictures, symbols, math
operations, sentences, and
phrases that help in the
development of quick retrieval of
information, which promotes
mental ability.
 Worksheets
Worksheet refers to a printed
paper or a set of printed paper
with activities, drills, and
questions for the student to
complete and answer. They are
used by the teachers to
determine the students’ previous
knowledge, outcomes, and
process of learning.
 Blackboards/
Chalkboards/
Whiteboards
These are boards that are usually
made from wood, sophisticated plastic,
fiber and even glass. These boards are
usually used by the teachers to write
and draw examples from the lesson
that the students must write. These
boards are also used in drills such as
board works in math and spelling drills
in English and Filipino. Almost all
classrooms have these kinds of boards.
 Bulletin
Boards
Bulletin boards are boards with
designs and artistic materials. They
are used in giving up-to-date
information, announcements, posting of
public information, display of students'
works and lessons, and more. It is
usually wall-mounted and placed
strategically for everybody to see it.
 Dictionaries,
Encyclopaedias,
and Thesaurus
These are comprehensive reference
books used by teachers and
students to find the meaning of any
word and or idea. They contain a
collection of facts, knowledge, and
other essential data.
 Manipulatives
Manipulatives are various objects that
help the students to manipulate and
play. These objects are usually helpful
in math and logic. It helps the students
to understand the concepts through
actual manipulation.
 Science Lab Apparatus
and Materials
Science laboratory apparatus and
materials are used inside the
laboratory with caution to exercise
safety. These materials are used to
demonstrate science activities and
perform experiments. These are very
useful since they enforce motivation
and curiosity in science.
 Models
Models are three-dimensional
representation or replicas of the
actual/real things being taught. It may
be smaller, more significant, or even
the same size as the exact thing.
Models are used in teaching since they
simulate first-hand experience/s. They
can be viewed, examined, and
manipulated by both the learners and
the students.
 Diorama
Dioramas are realistic scenic displays
usually used in exhibits. Dioramas
include threedimensional characters
such as people and animals and things
such as buildings, equipment, vehicles,
and others placed in a three-
dimensional ground with flat, scenic
background. Some examples are jungle
scene, cityscapes, under the ocean,
farms, and others.
Non-conventional or
digital tools
 Computers
and Laptops
Computers and laptops are used
in education as a tool for storing
data, accessing and processing
information using engines and
applications. Students and
teachers can also access the
World Wide Web using these
devices and can connect to
projectors to project
presentations.
 Slideshow
Presentation
Slideshow presentations using
projectors are used in education
to project slideshow
presentations, videos, clips, and
more. The use of applications can
access this. It is beneficial to the
teachers and students since it
aids in learning by the projection
of quality videos of the lessons
that are difficult to explain.
 E-Books
E-books are an electronic copy of
published books. E-books are
present in applications or
downloadable materials that can
be accessed using devices like
tablets, laptops, mobile phones,
etc.
 Radio

lesson when the places are not reachable,
they lack teachers, and if the area or
country is experiencing a calamity or
emergency as distance learning must be
practiced.
 Mobile Phones and Tablets

Mobile phones and tablets are

handheld devices that are very
useful in learning. These devices can
be used to access the internet,
almost all applications, even e-books
and can be used as a calculator,
map, converter, etc.

 Interactive
Whiteboards/
Smart Boards
Smart boards or interactive boards are
used by some school in the world.
They are large screen that is mounted
on the wall. These boards can access
